Antique necklace presentation box of unusually long form, 31 cm from end to end, in black grained leather with a black velvet bed and a cream silk lid.
The length is the point of it. A case of 31 cm takes a necklace or a long chain laid out straight rather than coiled, which is how a graduated row was shown across a jeweller's counter. The leather is cross grained with a gilt line to the edge, and the case closes on two hook fastenings along the front.
